Death at La Fenice

Guido Brunetti, a commisario of police for Venice, has been called to the Teatro La Fenice, where the maestro of the orchestra has been found dead in his dressing room.  Doctor Barbara Zorzi has been called from the audience to examine the man before Brunetti arrived, and she told him that she suspected cyanide poisoning.

The first priority for Brunetti is to learn more about the victim, and who would want to harm him.  Could it be someone from the distant past?

Speaking to many people who knew the victim, Brunetti is able to find the true culprit in this case.  Author Donna Leon sets the reader up for a surprising conclusion.  A good quick read.  This is the first book in a long series I look forward to reading.
